DJ Vague

Sydney’s dancefloor sanctuary Templar Sound reigns in a new year of club music with Atlanta’s own DJ Vague (another sound and strand from the producer Helix), who constructs a 3-track highway soundtrack of muscular, drive-loop techno with Porsche Trax – ricocheting teasing bass figures, blown-out synths, and the darker hues of house into an 18-minute flare of euphoria. From the stuttering, suffocating kicks and restless reserve of ‘Porsche Trax 1′ to the smoky claps that ring-in its uplifting follow-up, Porsche Trax is a reversal of the glass-edged precision of his Club Constructions releases as Helix on London label Night Slugs. Maintaining a foreboding streak right the way through to the scanning phasers and ricketing finale of ‘Porsche Trax 3′.
